Facing the End ( An Asa Butterfield Story )

Facing the End

Ashley's POV:

I can't believe Asa gave me his number. Like I was just watching him on the big screen when Enders Game came out and now he goes to my school when he isn't traveling. Like this is crazy. I didn't even think I was EVERY going to meet Asa Butterfield, and even better, be able to call and text him!!! Its like a dream come true.

Asa's POV:

I'm glad I met Ashley, she is like my new best friend now, and she is really pretty. I'm just glad I have someone who understands me and doesn't like me just because I'm in movies. like I told her, I like to be myself and just chill.

Ashley's POV:

After I got out of math, my last class of the day was Art. I suck at art but at least I try. I walked into class and there he was. Asa standing in the front of the room with the other people in class waiting for the teacher to give us our seats. I was really hoping me and Asa would get sat next to each other. "Megan, you sit over there. Jake, you go sit by Megan." my teacher went on.. I was ignoring her until I heard either my name or Asa's. "and finally Asa and Ashley, you guys go take a seat in the back" I smiled. So did Asa. I got really lucky on that one. Usually the first day we go over rules and stuff, normal stuff that really wasn't interesting. Me and Asa just talked the whole period. Surprisingly he didn't bring up him giving me his number in conversation, maybe because he would feel a little awkward..?!

It seemed like time went by so fast. Asa makes the class fun and interesting so it seemed to move pretty quickly. Right when the bell rang for school to be over me and Asa both jumped out of our seats and out the door. Asa's locker was the opposite direction than mine. So when he was walking towards his locker I turned around and heard him say "Text me Ashley" and then he turned a corner. While I was walking down the hallway I had so many butterflies in my stomach and I couldnt stop smiling. I have Asa Butterfields number..?! I though to myself over and over again. When I got home from school I took my backpack off and changed my clothes. Before I changed my clothes I took his number out of my pocket and then changed into sweats and a tank. I jumped right onto my couch and turned on my tv. My mom came home from work and when she walked in the door she asked "So Ashley, how was your first day?" "Absolutely amazing mom!" I said. "Well I've never heard you say that before. Are you being sarcastic?" my mom asked. "Haha no" I said. My dad is always traveling for his job and never really gets the time to call us but I'm really disappointed because I was looking forward to telling him about my day. "So what happened today Ashley." my mom asked. "Well, Asa Butterfield goes to my school and we are like best friends now and he gave me his number so it's been pretty awesome!"

my mom smiled and said "really!?" "yeah" I responded and then turned up my tv louder. Criminal Minds came on.. I absolutely love that show. I've always been obsessed with crime shows. While I was watching it I decided to give Asa a text. Even though he told me to text him I was kinda nervous and didn't want to bother him. "Hey Asa, It's me Ashley, the girl you met today" I said. I laid my phone down on the couch and resumed watching tv. After about 2 minutes I got a text back. From Asa. I smiled. I honestly didn't think he was going to text me back. "Hey Ashley! Haha you think I don't remember you? of course I do" i smiled. "Hahahaha I was just scared you wouldn't, so how are you liking school?" I asked him. "Um.. it's ok, I already kinda like this girl.. she's really pretty but I obviously don't wanna ask her out after one day so I hope I get to know her better" My heart dropped. He already likes someone? after one day? I mean, yeah I like him. I mean come on! He's Asa Butterfield. He is gorgeous. I've thought he was cute since The Boy in the Striped Pajamas but I didn't think HE would already like someone. I acted liked I was interested in knowing who he likes but I just want to find out. "Oh really.. who?!?" I asked. About 5 minutes later he texted me back.
